Chapter 23: Never back down
Chapter 23 Never back down
Reversing the sworn defense in his hand, Mino sighed with some envy and some regret, and after beckoning people to clean up the remains of the bone demon, the silver-white killing storm swept across the city walls again.
To say that Mino, who is accustomed to using that kind of blunt broadsword, is not envious of the sharpness and strength that he swears to defend to the death, it is definitely a lie, but Orr also said just now that this psionic weapon is a specialty of the clergy profession of the Supreme God Cult, and it is impossible for other professions, whether they are warriors or magicians, to get it, so this kind of envy can probably only be an unattainable delusion forever.
After all, my path is already difficult and complicated enough, and if I go to practice the Holy Light again, I am afraid that the already slim hope of reaching the summit will really be completely lost.
Casually slashing off a skeleton warrior who wanted to stab himself with his sword, Mino smiled self-deprecatingly as he looked at his own face shining on the silver-white blade.
Seeing that Mino's ability to compete with the beast-shaped bone demons who were also at a medium level among the fourth-level undead, and even able to fight back, the middle-level warriors who were trying to get rid of the undead who were entangled with them suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and they were no longer distracted, and they were engrossed in fighting with these middle-level undead who rushed up to assist in a hurry, and with the cooperation of each other, they also took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and killed several of them.
Seeing so many powerful middle-level undead dying on the city wall, the morale of the warriors on the human side was boosted again, and several middle-level magicians took advantage of this morale to cast several group offensive magics, and for a while, the undead tide of attacks were actually repulsed.
The range magic under the root of the wall is still continuing, and the low-level undead cannon fodder does not dare to come in and send them to death at all, and the middle-level undead who can bear it do not want to be beaten in vain, and the undead attacks on the city wall that have been continuous since the beginning of the war have actually disappeared temporarily, taking advantage of this time, the soldiers who have been fighting continuously for nearly two hours of high-intensity battles hurriedly came to a wave of collective defense to relieve the fatigue of their bodies.
Because they were worried that there would be middle-level undead who would not be able to surprise at any time, all the middle-level powerhouses did not go downstairs to rest, but hid behind the beacon on the city wall and sat for a while.
As the youngest of the middle grades, Mino was welcomed a lot, and many people patted Mino on the shoulder enthusiastically, took out the wine jug and shared his treasured wine with Mino, but unfortunately Mino had never touched this thing, and after taking a sip of spicy food, he could only shake his head helplessly and refuse everyone's kindness.
Minow, who can't drink, can't integrate into the communication of these middle-level powerhouses, in order not to spoil the interest of others, he can only sit in the corner, holding the oath to defend in a daze, thinking about these strong people who were quite disdainful of him before, but just now he was holding his shoulders and talking enthusiastically without scruples, Mino had to sigh again the importance of combat effectiveness.
This is the reality of the border area, there is no corresponding combat power, if you don't have high enough status and wealth, then you may never be able to fit into the circle of those who can easily kill you, and on the contrary, as long as you have enough strength, whether this power is cultivated by yourself or with the help of equipment, it doesn't matter, as long as you are strong enough.
Thinking of this, Mino subconsciously touched the evil defender on his body, he knew that all this was brought by the magic armor on his body, if there was no armor's defense and the power of the strength technique, then even if he had the defense to the death to break through the defense of the middle-level undead, he didn't have the ability to go to the middle-level undead and put it right with him.
But this armor has to be returned to Orr after all, and even if it is his own, then he must be careful at any time that there are people with bad intentions to kill people and seize treasures, which makes Mino's heart swell again.
In such a fierce battle, the rest time was always short, and after a while, the pale skeletal ladder was built again, and the undead attack struck again.
Although Mino's strength is recognized, the results of the previous battle are obvious to everyone, plus Mino's own basic strength is not good after all, the previous battle with the bone demon was quite thrilling, if you continue to fight with the middle-level undead, maybe when a negligence will hang, so Mino's task is still to fill in the gaps for the second-level warriors who form the defense line.
Due to the existence of Mino, a strong man who concentrates on filling in the gaps, the casualty rate of the soldiers has been further reduced, especially the sense of security without worries, which is similar to the effect of the priest's battle in the last battle, looking at the grateful smiling faces of those soldiers, an indescribable pride surged in Mino's heart.
In the face of the undead army outside the town, the defense line of Tassi Town did not collapse as imagined, but has persisted until now, although the enemy's attack is fierce, but the death rate remains within a range that everyone can accept, these battle conditions greatly boost the morale of the soldiers on the city wall, feel a steady stream of strength pouring out of the body, and fight with all their strength for the hope that seems to be ahead.
However, for Mino's and other mid-level combat forces, the current situation is quite weird.
The army of low-level undead is indeed desperate and continues to attack, but the middle-level undead have always given people a state of not being able to work, as if someone is forcing them to fight, except for some fourth-level undead who will rush up from time to time to fight to the death, the fifth-level and sixth-level undead only occasionally rush up to fight, and they are all superficial, otherwise the aftermath of the battle alone can kill a lot of human warriors by mistake, and the low-level warriors cannot stop with heavy casualties, how can this defense line hold on to the present.
You must know that according to Carlos's description, these undead are not here for sightseeing, they are originally here for revenge, and the undead's innate hatred and desire for flesh and blood for the living is even more difficult to suppress, this situation is simply a subversion of the behavior pattern of the undead, these undead must have some conspiracy, but such worries can't be said to everyone with high morale, otherwise it will be self-destruction of the Great Wall, Mino, they can only keep everything in their hearts, try their best to kill a little more undead, and pray that their worries are just too much。
But is it possible?
As time went by, the attack intensity of the undead became lower and lower, and even the mid-level undead basically didn't make much moves, they just stood quietly outside Tarsi Town, as if waiting for something, in this case, not only the strong men who needed to fight the mid-level undead saw that something was wrong, but also the warriors who were still resisting the low-level undead saw the problem.
But what can you do if you see the problem, the middle-level undead did not attack the city, but this does not mean that the strong men on the human side can rush out of the city to harvest the low-level undead, in order to avoid fatigue affecting the combat effectiveness to deal with possible dangers, the strong men of the human race can only suppress the desire to fight.
It was as if an appointment had been made, and the low-level combat power was fighting to the death next to it, but the middle-level combat power was standing quietly as if they hadn't seen it, and the situation was extremely weird.
The atmosphere was so oppressive, and the fear of the unknown made people so nervous that Mino even had the absurd idea that even if he rushed out for a decisive battle, it would be better than the current situation.
Such a thought was only fleeting in Mino's mind, and it was instantly extinguished, not only because Mino was not a commander and could not give such an order, but also because of the passive slackness of the intermediary undead who could ignore the geographical factors, the safety of human warriors increased dramatically, and the casualty rate dropped again and again.
It's a pity that the actions of the undead side will not change with Mino's thoughts, just after such a strange situation lasted for nearly half an hour, an extremely terrifying and powerful coercion suddenly erupted in the mountains outside Tarsi Town, and with the emergence of this coercion, the intermediary undead who had been passive and slacking off suddenly seemed to suddenly wake up, and they launched an attack on Tarsi Town with great excitement, and the low-level undead who were already constantly attacking were even more desperate to attack Tarsi Town, and the illusion that the situation was good before suddenly cracked。
Before the attack of the undead arrived, Mino looked at the madness of the undead outside the town, and was thinking about what was going on, when a term that was enough to make people despair came out of the mouth of the pale soldier commander not far away:
"Legendary............ A level 7 undead of legendary strength. Holding his head, the commander who had been calm and calm laughed like crazy, "It turns out that we are all celebrating the feast of this legendary undead rebirth, and they have not attacked with all their strength just because the main owner of the dinner has not yet arrived, it is just a small border town, and we are really lucky that this kind of monster will appear." ”
Hearing the words of the commander, everyone pulled their faces as if they were mourning, and their eyes revealed gray-white despair, in the face of the legendary powerhouse whose strength was enough to burn the mountains and reclaim the sea, the number of enemies below the seventh level was almost completely meaningless, only the same strong people were qualified to fight with it, and the others were just cannon fodder in front of them.
And the powerhouses of the Zhenguo who can reach the legendary level in strength, even if it is the entire kingdom, there are only three of them, how can these powerhouses who are far away in the royal capital at this time appear here, Taxi Town is really finished, and no one can leave from the hands of the legendary undead alive.
But even so, everyone present did not give up resistance, if it is the tradition of the border area to despise the weak and revere the power, then never give up, fighting to the last moment is the instinct flowing in the blood of the border people, it is with this spirit of fighting to the death as a support, the weak human beings can take that glimmer of life from the hands of the powerful monsters on the border.
"Soldiers on the border can be wicked, but they must not be cowards!
At the moment when the legendary undead appeared, almost all the people on the city wall clenched their weapons in their hands and shouted in unison.
